These dark spots indicate that we've had 24 00:06:17,22 --> 00:06:21,75 to send people out time after time to fill the potholes year after year that's very 25 00:06:21,76 --> 00:06:26,85 expensive and difficult for the city to do and then here is minute Toba street 26 00:06:26,90 --> 00:06:30,71 which was paved in one thousand nine hundred sixty four and that is fifty years old 27 00:06:31,20 --> 00:06:37,58 and here the joints are severely deteriorated and patched with asphalt. 28 00:06:39,59 --> 00:06:46,44 So this project will include the removal of the curb and gutter and so we would 29 00:06:46,45 --> 00:06:51,95 install new sections of concrete curb pavement just where the pavement is bad the 30 00:06:51,96 --> 00:06:57,40 street would remain open at all times and instead of waiting for the pavement even 31 00:06:57,41 --> 00:07:02,87 further so that it would need expensive costly work this project will improve the 32 00:07:02,88 --> 00:07:07,80 ride and extend the useful life for at least ten years or more and I guess I'd like 33 00:07:07,81 --> 00:07:13,41 to consider that if we were to resurface the road with asphalt that would cost 34 00:07:13,42 --> 00:07:17,99 about six hundred fifty five thousand dollars and the residence would be thirty 35 00:07:18,00 --> 00:07:21,78 three dollars and forty five cents per foot if we were to completely. 36 00:07:24,84 --> 00:07:29,47 It would be one million four hundred ninety four thousand dollars and the residence 37 00:07:29,48 --> 00:07:34,03 would be fifty dollars but what we're proposing tonight is just 38 00:07:34,13 --> 00:07:38,78 a patch of the bad spots for three hundred fifteen thousand dollars and the 39 00:07:38,79 --> 00:07:45,65 residents are only.
